The United States under Trump: alone in its refusal to climate

When the Trump administration explained two weeks ago that it would largely disregard the economic costs of climate change when determining guidelines and regulations, it was only the latest step in a multi -pole exertion to delete the global warming of the American agenda.

But President Trump makes more than just an eye on the fact that the planet gets hotter. It flows the country's ability to understand global warming and prepare for his consequences.

The administration has dismantled climate research, fired some of the best scientists in the country and disappointed the efforts to draw how quickly greenhouse gases build in the atmosphere and what this means for the economy, employment, agriculture, health and other aspects of American society. The government will no longer pursue any important sources for greenhouse gases, data used to measure the scale and have been identified in the past 15 years.

“We no longer do this climate change, Crud, Crud, Crud,” Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins told Fox Business on May 8th.

By eliminating data, the administration tries to stop the national discussion about how to deal with global warming, said Daniel Swain, climate scientist at the University of California in Los Angeles. “The idea that there is a common factual reality just seems to be completely out of the window,” he said.

At the same time, the administration has weakened the country's ability to prepare for hurricane, forest fires, droughts and other extreme weather and to aggravate themselves from climate change through the rejection of disaster aid by the federal administrative agency of the federal government.
